6. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 10th May Morning Shift )

The number of solutions of tan x + sec x = 2 cos x in [ 0 , 2 π ] are

A. 6

B. 4

C. 3

D. 2

Correct answer option is (D)

The given equation is defined for x π 2 , 3 π 2 .

Now, tan x + sec x = 2 cos x

sin x cos x + 1 cos x = 2 cos x ( sin x + 1 ) = 2 cos 2 x ( sin x + 1 ) = 2 ( 1 sin 2 x ) ( sin x + 1 ) = 2 ( 1 sin x ) ( 1 + sin x ) ( 1 + sin x ) [ 2 ( 1 sin x ) 1 ] = 0 2 ( 1 sin x ) 1 = 0 [ sin x 1  otherwise  cos x = 0  and  tan x , sec x  will be undefined  ] sin x = 1 2 x = π 6 , 5 π 6  in  ( 0 , 2 π )

Number of solutions = 2

7. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 9th May Morning Shift )

The number of solutions in [ 0 , 2 π ] of the equation 16 sin 2 x + 16 cos 2 x = 10 is

A. 2

B. 4

C. 6

D. 8

Correct answer option is (D)

16 sin 2 x + 16 cos 2 x = 10 16 sin 2 x + 16 1 sin 2 x = 10 16 sin 2 x + 16 16 sin 2 x = 10

Let 16 sin 2 x = t

t + 16 t = 10 t 2 10 t + 16 = 0 t = 2  and  t = 8

Now, 16 sin 2 x = 2 and 16 sin 2 x = 8

2 4 sin 2 x = 2 1  and  2 4 sin 2 x = 2 3

4 sin 2 x = 1  and  4 sin 2 x = 3 sin 2 x = 1 4  and  sin 2 x = 3 4 sin x = ± 1 2  and  sin x = ± 3 2 x = π 6 , 5 π 6 , 7 π 6 , 11 π 6  and  x = π 3 , 2 π 3 , 4 π 3 , 5 π 3

number of solutions = 8 .

8. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 21th September Evening Shift )

The number of solutions of cos2 θ = sin θ in (0, 2 π ) are

A. 3

B. 2

C. 4

D. 1

Correct answer option is (A)

cos 2 θ = sin θ 1 2 sin 2 θ = sin θ 2 sin 2 θ + sin θ 1 = 0 ( 2 sin θ 1 ) ( sin θ + 1 ) = 0 sin θ = 1 2 , 1

When have θ ( 0 , 2 π )

Possible values of θ are π 6 , 5 π 6 , 3 π 2

9. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 21th September Evening Shift )

If θ + ϕ = α and tan θ = k tan ϕ ( where K > 1 ) , then the value of sin ( θ ϕ ) is

A. k tan ϕ

B. sin α

C. ( k 1 k + 1 ) sin α

D. k cos ϕ

Correct answer option is (C)

We have tan θ = k tan ϕ and θ + ϕ = α

tan θ tan ϕ = k 1

By Componendo Dividendo, we get

tan θ + tan ϕ tan θ tan ϕ = k + 1 k 1 sin θ cos θ + sin ϕ cos ϕ sin θ cos θ sin ϕ cos ϕ = k + 1 k 1 sin cos ϕ + cos θ sin ϕ sin θ cos ϕ cos θ sin ϕ = k + 1 k 1 sin ( θ + ϕ ) sin ( θ ϕ ) = k + 1 k 1 sin α sin ( θ ϕ ) = k + 1 k 1 sin ( θ ϕ ) = k 1 k + 1 ( sin α )

10. ⇒  (MHT CET 2021 21th September Morning Shift )

2 sin ( θ + π 3 ) = cos ( θ π 6 ) , then tan θ =

A. 1 3

B. 3

C. 3

D. 1 3

Correct answer option is (B)

2 sin ( θ + π 3 ) = cos ( θ π 6 ) 2 [ sin θ cos π 3 + cos θ sin π 3 ] = ( cos θ cos π 6 + sin θ sin π 6 ) 2 ( sin θ 2 + 3 cos θ 2 ) = ( 3 cos θ 2 + sin θ 2 ) ( sin θ 2 + 3 cos θ 2 ) = 0 sin θ + 3 cos θ = 0 tan θ = 3
